Pull Request Overview

This PR enhances the autocomplete functionality to support completion based on both the value and detail fields of completion items, addressing issue #48. The changes allow users to trigger autocompletion by typing either the main value or the detail portion of completion options.

  • Modified filtering logic to include items where the detail field matches the input prefix
  • Updated option display logic to show full option when matching on detail field
  • Changed condition for showing details from requiring multiple options to showing when any detail exists

[nitpick] The condition change from > 1 to > 0 means details will now always be shown when they exist, even for single options. This could clutter the display unnecessarily. Consider if this change aligns with the intended UX behavior.

Suggested change
if len(filteredOptions) > 0 && len(item.Detail) > 0 {
if len(filteredOptions) > 1 && len(item.Detail) > 0 {

option += fmt.Sprintf("(%v)", item.Detail)
}
if strings.HasPrefix(option, argInput) {
options = append(options, []rune(option[len(argInput):]))
offset = len(argInput)
} else if len(item.Detail) > 0 && strings.HasPrefix(item.Detail, argInput) {
options = append(options, []rune(option))

When matching on detail, the full option string is returned without adjusting the offset. This means the completion will include the entire option text, potentially overwriting the user's input. The offset should be set to 0 when returning the full option.

Suggested change
options = append(options, []rune(option))
options = append(options, []rune(option))
offset = 0
